In all seriousness: I am a niner fan, and I was there for the epic Saints/49ers playoff game that ended w/ the Alex Smith end around, the Jimmy Graham score, and then the Vernon catch. The home team winning and inciting delirium of 70,000 people is just freaking awesome.

First, all offending balls will be destroyed.

This was rough, but can we agree that his statement on head coaching was great?

Cam Newton.

Counterpoint:

Little Mac be like "I got this".

I dunno. On land, I think 4th is fair (I mean, they're ahead of Gorillas, Lions, and Bears for pete's sake), but in a coastal setting the crocodile and hippo are 1a/1b or 1b/1a in some order for sure.

Yeah my family (not me though) went on safari and some of the white folks were posing by a "Warning [Hippo Silhouette]" sign like dangerous hippos were a joke.

Technically what Silver has advocated is a version of the LEAGUE cup, which is premiere league teams only. And is totally stupid.

There's nothing more infuriating than when someone is a complete dick to you, and you respond in a frustrated but measured tone and then they say "oh hey now, no need to get angry!"

Let's just keep this high level.

False Equivalency for the win.

They should hire Rex Ryan. He's a legitimately good coach, gives sound bytes that would make Al proud, and can turn Khalil Mack into a monster.

Counterpoint: Perhaps he was trying to get their pass offense going all season because he knew he'd need it in the playoffs if he wanted to win a super bowl and knew that eking out an 11-5 record off a power running game and 23-13 victories wouldn't cut it against the Packers, Seahawks, Patriots or Broncos in the…

@Albert:

Today I tried out the Kahlua-spiked eggnog for a late morning treat, to go with my normal half shot of brandy per mug, and it was goddamn delicious.

I am pretty familiar with sports economics and I believe it's worth more empty.

I love everything about Christmas, in particular the music, and find Little Drummer Boy utterly baffling. You win on this one.

I'm sure some people in Al-Qaeda like soccer too. Does that mean that going to a youth soccer game makes you a terrorist? You win at the absurd misdirection game.

Who wrote it and performed it is irrelevant. And if we're going to get all historical, they named the two characters "the wolf" and "the mouse". What does that tell you?
